Lets not mince words here. Absent our support, Jim Martin WILL lose Georgia's senate seat to Saxby Chambliss. Not might lose ...he will lose. I don't say this lightly, but since we are the reality based community, we need to look at the cold hard truth:
Martin fell short by more than 100k votes with Barack Obama on the ballot. No matter what you hear about Obama "sending aids to Georgia" or even coming to stump for Martin himself - this seat is lost to us if we do nothing.
So what to do? I'm glad you asked!
If you are reading this, you are clearly interested in this race. You know the importance of this senate seat. You know what Chambliss did to Max Cleland. You may be exhausted from the Presidential campaign, but you can dig just a little deeper and find some more energy to give Obama another vote in the Senate.
That is why I know that each and every one of you will go to the following link and sign up as a volunteer for Jim Martin's campaign. You will tell them in the notes about your work for the Obama campaign and you will agree to phone bank for Martin. If you live in Georgia (or have the ability to get here) you will knock on doors. The first step is clicking on this link: https://services.myngp.com/...
If you can spare any money, I know you'll contribute here:

What I trust you won't do is leave this race to chance. I know you won't give this seat up without a fight. We've all worked too hard for too long. This seat may be the vote that brings us a health care bill, or the one that global warming legislation hinges on.
Don't let up now. The GOP in Georgia is motivated and angry. Send them a message. Click those links now.
UPDATE: (per John Rose)
The Decatur office of the Obama campaign is at 2752 East Ponce de Leon, and its number is 404-377-9862. The person from whom I heard this information is Jodi Cobb- she is organizing Jim Martin/Jim Powell volunteers in Dekalb County, finding them places to stay and such, and her contact information is jodicobb@bellsouth.net or 404-235-6862.
Please send other contacts to me and I'll update this diary (and include in subsequent diaries).
Lets connect volunteers to the proper channels.
